S-OFFing the Device

Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX "now named: Revolutionary" (HBOOT 1.01.0001)

It has been confirmed that AlphaRevX "Revolutionary" tool is not S-OFFing wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002!

Therefore, downgrading the HBOOT to 1.01.0001 is must for the meantime, to get an efficient S-OFF.

Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).

So, here’s a small package to help you do this.

click here.

Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like your “Desktop” for example.

Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.

At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.

How to deal with Gold-Card Tool:

1.	Switch off your phone, remove your microSD card.

2.	Insert the microSD card into your card reader, connect it to your computer and format the card to FAT32 file system.

3.	Insert the card into your HTC Wildfire and power it on.

4.	Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone in Menu > Settings > Applications > Development.

5.	Connect the phone to your computer via USB and set the mode to charge only.

6.	Launch Gold-Card Tool on your computer and click ‘GetCID’.

7.	Copy the CID code from the text box and click the link shown below that text box to open it in your browser window.

8.	In the browser window, enter all the details required and submit that form.

9.	You should now get an email from PSAS. Open it and download the ‘GoldCard.img’ attachment.

10.	Now set your phone’s USB mode to Mass Storage.

11.	In Gold-Card Tool, click ‘Refresh’.

12.	Select your mounted SD card from the drop-down menu saying “HTC MMC:”

13.	Click ‘Load Goldcard.img’ and select the file downloaded in Step 11.

14.	Click ‘Patch MMC’ and your Gold Card will be created. You may exit Gold Card Tool once done.

After you've made the goldcard, and patched it, continue with step 2.

•	Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).

If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!

Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.

Revolutionary

* Steps:

1st You need to get to: http://revolutionary.io/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).

The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!

You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from:

Settings --> about phone --> phone identity.

Now, do the following:

1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.

2. Reboot phone.

3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.

4. Run Revolutionary and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.

5. Revolutionary should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.

7. Type out the “key” in the Revolutionary tool software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).

8. Revolutionary should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.

9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry.

(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)

For Rooting HTC Wildfire

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Step 2 - Downgrading from Android 2.2.1 Froyo to Android 2.1 Éclair

Download the RUU rom (here) which is an original stock rom. Plug your phone into the PC and set it to "Charge through USB". Double click RUU rom .exe

Follow the on screen instructions and then let it install. Your phone will reboot into stock HTC 2.1

This will be the last time you will be seeing it though.

Step 3 - Gaining root using Unrevoked, get ClockworkMod and set your phone free

Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error

"Validation error, backup CID is missing"

This may be caused as the 3.32 does not support the HBOOT. Hence you need specific test version of Unrevoked 3.2 to do the job. Download it, save it on desktop, and run it. Now connect your phone and the rooting will start. Once done, you will have ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone.

Reboot your phone now (using the VOLUME UP/DOWN key for navigation and clicking using TRACKBALL, the POWER button takes you back in menus). Once rebooted, you will see the “Superuser” app in your phone and....

Flashing CM-7.2 ROM (or any other ROM)

Flashing CM-7 ROM (or any other ROM)

Installing CyanogenMod 7 (Android Gingerbread 2.3.3)

Download the CyanogenMod 7 (here) (choose stable mod) for best results and download the latest version.

You will also need Google apps (here) or here (for latest version).

Place both files on desktop, connect your phone as USB disk-drive and transfer both zip files on SD card. Once done, reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery (booting by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button and clicking on recovery)

Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side VOLUME buttons to move around, and either the POWER button or the TRACKBALL to select.
